Topic: A GLORIOUS INHERITANCE
Text: Read: Ephesians 1:13-14
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 35-36; Ps. 9

“…ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” (Eph.1:13-14).

What is the ultimate purpose of being adopted as a child of God? Is it salvation, forgiveness, justification or cleansing? All are part of it, but the ultimate purpose of our adoption is the inheritance of glory. The book of Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…that we may be also glorified together.”
Everything that Jesus Christ received by divine right, believers in Christ will also receive from Him by divine grace. After death, we inherit this heavenly estate. That is why Apostle Paul said “to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). For the believer, physical death is not an enemy; because it takes us into the presence of God.

We should note that the Spirit of God turns our groans into glory. The book of Roman 8:18 says: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with glory which shall be revealed in us”. Whatever problem makes you groan, turn it over to God. He will turn your groaning into glory. All the pain, hurt, suffering and agony are nothing compared to the Father's glory that you will one day inherit. Rest and rejoice in the Truth that the Spirit of God is giving you the ultimate victory. He is guaranteeing and sealing your adoption and turning your groaning into glory.

Prayer: Gracious Father, thank You for the glorious inheritance promised to us Your children. Please grant us Your grace to enable us face our trials and gain the glory You have in store for us. We pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with a...
